A long, rope hangs from a support that breaks, causing the rope to fall, if the pull exceeds . A student team has built a robot 鈥渕ouse鈥 that runs up and down the rope. What maximum acceleration can the robot have鈥攂oth magnitude and direction鈥攚ithout the rope falling?
A 70 kg tightrope walker stands at the center of a rope. The rope supports are 10 m apart and the rope sags 100 at each end. The tightrope walker crouches down, then leaps straight up with an acceleration of 8.0 m/s2 to catch a passing trapeze. What is the tension in the rope as he jumps?
